Discussion Android 8.0 [Oreo] - Samsung Galaxy S Duos 2

First of all thanks to all the developers for making so many good rom's for our phone Gt-S758X. I am just curious to know about if our phone is going to have android 8.0 Which google releasing on may 2017 Maybe. So is our phone is capable of getting android Oreo?
Thanx for reading the post

Reserved

maybe yes bro
when source release , our dev will work on it

WeW finally someone replied. And i know when you're with us. this device gonna get every possible android ROM. well currently waiting for your yunos ROM @1111111111111111111111

dev here
no.

Why? ;_; I know our phone architecture is bit old but if we can get naught then why not oreo?

no one maintain it, it get harder and harder to get things work properly, i'm started develop for it since cm11 but stopped since cm13 because of compatibility issue with webview, it's currently maintained by ishant but he told me he will stop at N since it's getting unstable and more random bugs

Thanx Mate for your contributions for this device i really appreciate your work and your roms' ^-^ Maybe @DodoGTA and @1111111111111111111111 will work on this. thanx for all those beautiful ROMs @sandpox

Well.. Most people using ishant and my device tree/patch of CM (including dodogta) to build various of other android custom rom so if ishant refuse to work on the next android version then I don't think it will happen
Make it boot? Probably yes, fully make it functional? No

I'll try to make LOS 15 fully functional

Whats the problem with webview? Is it because of our phones hardware? I think all Lollipop++ ROMs having issues with webview?

@Anonymouspal GPU drivers are the cause of WebView issues

Yes

Yayyy. Our Saviour is here.??

?????

Yes

You're A developer?

@mahmoud_helal isn't a developer

Any dev will release Android "O" for our device?!

No man i'm not a developer
I had tried to learn the programming language but I stopped because of the study and I have a friend who is studying at the College of Computing and Programming and I think he can help

Hey guys, We are going to try something new for our china phones - cyanogenmod.
But we need some more devs to get everything going.
For now we have:
-Github tree for Lenovo P700i(mediatek 6577, android 4.0.4, kernel 3.0.8)
-Lens_flare - original port author(may work with system folder and configs)
-some kernel source from other devices like liquid gallant
The main problem is getting adb to work that could help a lot on remaining development. For now even zygote not starting, but all partitions seems mounted successfully.
We need more devs (especially that could assemble working kernel for device), working with p700i may lead to following porting for other mtk devices, as sources are nearly the same.​

Bro,You too working on the CM kernel?? Best of Luck.....Thought it would help Others for getting Cm soon :cyclops: :cyclops:
Well that source in the OP is ICS... JB sources are still a mess... Nothing more that a Cyanogen 9 is possible I believe!
People make their own device tree's also! Instead of consuming that Nothing other than CM9 is possible instead help or GTFO! We will make it possible one day I believe!
@varun.chitre15: The Github Organization is ready! I already forked a few repo's! So, Start Working

Nopes! I am not making a CM Kernel instead directly building CM9! The Prebuilt Kernel will boot CM9! Though.... @DanceOff was also working to get CM10.1 Booting :cyclops: Now, That he knows about already available CM9 Sources we could get CM9 Booted first then think about fixing bugs etc. Plus, Most of the people are ready to sacrifice 1 sim to get a Working CM on their MTK Device

Mate, hold your horses you don't get to use abusing slangs and expect help from anybody...
If you are interested then dive into what you think is possible and do it, there is no harm in expecting better!
Its time to united whole developers... support and help cyanogen dev., instead of developing so-called ROMs..(everything is same features... so boared)

Hi Everyone,
CyanogenMOD would be an awesome accomplishment for these devices. Please try to stay on topic and not engage in petty disagreements. It is incredibly easy for a community effort to get derailed or fall apart. Remember, if you see something you don't like or disagree with, you can always ignore it or report it.
Thanks!
@TheDemiGod
yeah I was working on it, but then i abandoned the project because they already have a wonderful rom which i dont need to mention

Well I am still working upon this matter in the background. Somehow I messed up my build environment and god knows why, my recovery builds aren't booting as seen on the thread even though my device trees are untouched. Will be starting cleanly once I finish my exams on 16 May.
And regarding CyanogenMod, I have made a pretty good progress here. I have been studying the android ICS sources since they were discovered. Till now I have succeeded to frontport the MTK Gemini support, FEATUREOPTION builder, MTK GPS, MTK Camera HAL to the AOSP 4.2. But all of them are untested because I don't have the device,everyone knows. For this purpose I am going to buy the upcoming Xperia C3, which upon using as a medium for testing I can do this stuff a bit faster which will be beneficial to all MTK devices throughout. I have more than 30 commit patchsets lying on my machine which I will outsource soon.
I will suggest to use AOSP as base for these experiments because its always good to understand the pure upstream code. Once we have done noticable progress here, we can diff and merge them in projects like CM.

Android 6.0 Marshmallow is coming, CM13 is coming too

Have you thought that as soon this new android version is coming new AOSP ROMs like CyanogenMod and Omni are also coming? Write here all what you think this new ROM should have that the previous ones didn't have!
P.D.: Is there going to be Xposed installer available for this new version ?? We will see that soon

The first question that comes to my mind is that the extra features that will be available in Android M.... Then the ROMs can be discussed as they are always the icing on the cake.

Onereason Android makes it a better choice than Ios was this fact that you are onmuch more open work to walk on(easily root and stuff) but Android m accordin to news here is trying all it can to blockbring changes..i seems we are again going through OS which is going to limited our capabilities in customizin its environment...if this happened,I believe other OS like firefox or in near future, MIUI(independent of android in future),will have more chance of getting attention ...hope google won't cose the paths to root and stuff as root is really what brings out "the most feature of Linux system in android" and having an androind device as being more pleasant

I don't think Google would do that. Because it would ruin Android's Open Source. But if that happen, there would be another OS to develop for SmartPhones: Ubuntu Touch

Well brothers, we hope Marshmallow brings prosperity to Android. Or more
Will Galaxy Grand Neo (GT-I9060) have 6.0 Marshmallow rom, im stuck over 2years with JB 4.2 its horrible
One thing that is awesome about Android 6.0 is the fact that we will be able to limit what apps can access.I'm hoping that in turn adds to better security to your device since we live now in a world that security gets harder as technology gets farther along.
wonder what new features will be in CM 13..

CM13 nightly released for Asus Padfone S/X.I am not sure about this just saw a guide on theandroidsoul.com.If it is true then CM13 will be available for other devices. soon
This thread is interesting, and could be one to follow re the progress of CM13. http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/cm13-0-unofficial-watching-code-merged-t3228335
Apparently we know that Doze will be included in CM13, which is good news IMO....I'm very excited about the battery life increases it should bring.
Cool
Now that Cyanogenmod is in bed with Microsoft and will install Microsoft apps as default system apps that can't be removed...I no longer care about any new CM news or builds.

CM13 Unofficial ROM Port (F1f)(Link)

Hello everybody,
Here is a custom cm13 port for the Oppo f1f, it is unofficial and unsupported as far as I'm aware.
Thanks go out to uberlaggydarwin for doing all the work on the F1f so far.
(Edit: I can't post links on new account. Pm me for link)
So far bugs are many including no sim card working.
We all need to get together and test and develop for this device and not leave it to one person. Make sure you all thank BrinlyAus aka Uberlaggydarwin for his dev efforts so far.

I'll be starting to build cm13 for f1f next week. I'll be using @uberlaggydarwin work as a starting point so again thanks to him. I have already had a quick look and don't think it will take to much to get it usable, so hopefully I'll have a build up pretty quick.

I appreciate your enthusiasm but I'd rather you not post my work here yet. It still needs some work and I'm busy doing a rebase..
Thanxx a lot, you guys are osm i am nt a developer but ill surely suport by testing out the builds u release
Anxious!!
I cant wait until the first build comes out! Willing to test anything beta.
OMG i just loaded this onto the phone, wow this is everything the F1F should be!
Sadly the Simcard isnt working at the moment but Awesome work to all involved especially uberlaggydarwin
If you really want a taste of a working marshmallow I suggest you try the Project Spectrum Beta:
http://www.oppomobile.vn/forum/t/rom-beta-6-0-cho-oppo-f1-kem-root.24792/
I haven't tested it but I have read the bugs are minors.
yes project spectrum beta v1.0 is worth the try m usin it on my phone installed it todaih itself, very minor bugs, me no dveloper . the bug i noticed is 1) black border at bottom of snapchat app (resolution issue maybe) , and sometimes SD card doesnt detect ( reboot fixes it easily) others thngs just fine
How to install this spectrum beta rom... Should we change also from stock recovery to twrp ?
I suppose that it doesn't include color os ?
Thanks

Sorry for polluting this topic, I agree. But since I haven't tried it myself I was not going to make the topic and I though that making aware the people that were so impatient about a marshmallow rom about it could help.

True. I am trying to assist with cm13. But in the mean time I did cm12.1 build, and apart from WiFi and camera not working everything else I tried works great. Better than ColourOS, so if I can fix those it will be my daily driver untill we get cm13.

Thank you miniBlu for your efforts, personnaly I've tried Android M 6.0.1 based Project spectrum beta on my Oppo F1f, and it was sooo desapointed by the springboards, and SIM cards management.. Still waiting for better.

Android N on Xperia Z3

Hello guys, I am curious will Sony anounce official Android N support for our beloved Z3?
By that time can I use Developer Preview 4.ftf as daily driver? I can handle some glitchs.
Thank you!

Sorry to disappoint you but the Z3 isn't going to be graced with official Android N support. DP4 is as far as we're going to get.
DP4 can be used as a daily driver but there is an issue with the wifi. If you're not connected to wifi you need to disable it or risk a possible random reboot.

Yeah that's what I thought.. Thanks a lot bud!
It's not fixed? Can we get monthly security updates?
Well 7.1 aosp will Come as binaries are already avaible. Wenn just habe still luck. Thing is that official Support Not avaible couse device leaks off the encription that Google forced to 7.0 thats why we dont got it .
Does this mean the only way to get N on Z3 is through AOSP? Can't someone port Android N from another Xperia device?

Port Android N from another device? Qualcomm depracated msm8974 platform long ago so no other msm8974 device will be getting Nougat officially. All the other Xperia devices that will receive Nougat are 64 bit, using 3.10 kernel officially, and are on different platforms which means it won't work. Furthermore, there's also an additional barrier of proprietary libraries.
AOSP is the way to go

Ah that's a shame. That being said I don't know why Sony teased us a developer preview of Android N if we were never going to get it officially. It's like showing some dessert and then saying you can't have it. My Xperia S has alot of support in terms of AOSP, hell there's been a stable build of Nougat for a while. I haven't updated it because I only use it to listen Audiobooks. Seeing as we no longer have official support, I hope this means more AOSP focus.

Qualcomm deprecated the msm8974 platform and Google had those encryption or OpenGL requirements, not sure why everyone blames Sony when no other msm8974 is getting official Nougat..

Time to talk about Android O for our device

First question does Osprey's hardware support Android O ?
Prob does but we'll prob not be able to have some features
Osprey's hardware didn't supported android N too but we got it with custom rom... I think this will happened with android O too
Our device is in list to get los 15 ie. android O

Well that's a pleasant news. And considering the awesome dev support our device has, I'm pretty sure we'll be getting plenty of Android O ROMs to try out.

Just for fyi, lineageosdownloads.com is not the official site (download links are redirected to actual linageos.org (org, not com)). So information they give cannot be verified unless the official linageos blog posts something about it.
It's still a long way. Source code hasn't been out yet. After AOSP code is pushed, linageos team will work on it, but considering the limited resources (unlike CyanogenMod), it can take a while. After the base is ready, then devs will focus on building device specific images and fix bugs. Only then android o will be roaster ready. Other derivative ROMs will take more time obviously.
We can't be sure if 8.0 will be fully compatible with our device. We don't have official Nougat kernel sources and proprietary blobs (AFAIK), also from what I've observed so far, the farther apart the last official firmware and target firmware are, the harder it is to keep a ROM unmodified and yet stable & functional.
Our device shouldn't die that easy though, as newer Moto devices with similar hardware as osprey and Merlin have been released.
Broadcasted from Zeta Reticuli
Just like i say earlier our device it wasn't supported android N but we got it thanks to our awesome developers. I think they won't let us down with android O too.. it maybe take a little time but i think we will have android O for our moto g 2015
sorry for my bad english
Hopefully we get O, and hopefully O comes default with the pixel nav because redacting that would take effort thats not worth it now that nexus is dead .

Our device does support Nougat, it is evident by the presence of custom ROMs (and even a stock port). The only reason we didn't get a OTA was because the company didn't provide us. The Moto ROM and these custom ROMs all are based on AOSP code.( Technically, if the company released the full source of their ROM and features, then we could build stock ROMs too)
And yes, you are right, it may take a little while but eventually we should see the ROMs coming
But the absence of latest device specific proprietary stuff and official kernel sources forces devs to look for other branches to fill the gaps and get newer thingies working. In some places it's not possible to implement a certain feature and an older feature is modded to make it work, for example before the official marshmallow OTA was out, we already got marshmallow ROMs but it had some hacky workarounds for radio (I don't know if it was updated after that), same goes for early Nougat when camera was becoming a problem. The camera is still not perfect (check linageos thread), working correctly on some apps and glitching on others. Newer software, newer challenges.
But codes are not exactly like food though, mixture of old and new ones is not always bad. But the blobs and drivers sometime give headache

Have faith on our awsome developer we will surely have android O
Well, Android Oreo is out. I really hope that Osprey will get it soon.
https://source.android.com/devices/architecture/treble
according to this website,
"With Treble, a new stable vendor interface provides access to the hardware-specific parts of Android, enabling device makers to deliver new Android releases simply by updating the Android OS framework—without any additional work required from the silicon manufacturers"
Does this mean if someone gets Lineage OS 15 or OTA of Stock Android 8.0, they will receive all the updates from google from security patch to new Android versions (If the hardware is capable of running that version obviously!)?

If that so, Manufacturers can just update all the devices which theoretically can run android O , it will be a onetime work, after that it'll be easy to update the devices
That would be amazing. Let's wait for a developer opinion.
I managed to build AOSP 8.0_r4 for osprey with SELinux disabled and tons of warnings, using cm14.1's files with some edits. Though for some reason the kernel doesn't seem to boot (I tried with linage os and squid kernel)
I attached the boot.img it built if someone more expert wants to look at it (I didn't manage to find anything wrong)
Flashing the file results in fastboot "Error: failed to load the kernel"

Hi, Alberto97 (the official maintainer of lineageOS for osprey) has successfully booted android O on osprey. If you can get in contact with him, he might help you.
PS. Don't bug him about ETAs. He'll release when he feels its ready.
